Extension talk:Oversight
Add topicInstallation: How to "Add the Reqired Table to the Database" (Step 2)?
[edit]Thank you for this extension, but how is it supposed to be installed? Thank you!
- Option 1: Place the hidden.sql file at the root of your domain, and log on to your phpMyAdmin page.
- Import the hidden.sql file into the sql command box and hit enter (this procedure may vary depending on the service provider).
- Option 2: You can also copy and paste the content of the hidden.sql file into the sql command box in phpMyAdmin.
- Good-luck!

hidden.sql
[edit]The first line of the sql file:
CREATE TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/hidden (
,
created a table named "hidden" in my wikidb but the Oversight extension calls for a table named "wikihidden".
So, that was a trouble I had to fix. It may be unique issue that is happening only to me, but if you happen to have same issue,
replace it with this:
CREATE TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/wikihidden (
.
It will at least fix this problem. I am still trying to figure out how to activate the tabs that supposed to show up...
Anyone any tips?

- It's actually
wiki_hidden

Use of Oversight
[edit]Ha! I finally figured it out! The artcle describles the use of it, and that's what one has to do. Just that I needed a step-by-step lead to get there. Anyways, I found it. For those who are like me, do this to get to the page where you finally see the tab:
- click on history tab
- click on the revision that you want to hide
- you get redirected to the old page that you want to hide and you see the tab hide revision on the top -- THERE IT WAS!
- click on the hide revision tab -- NOT the delete tab!
- you get redirected to Permanently hide revisions page
- type in the Reason box - this is a required field
- click on the Hide this data permanently button
That's it.

Restoring revisions
[edit]How can I restore a previouse Oversighted revision? I have access to the database (of course).
Mediawiki 1.7.1 (Debian Etch version) seems to work.
[edit]I downloaded the 1.10 version and tried to install it. I got no error messages and it all seems to be working. I've only tested it ~10 minutes so I don't guarantee anything though. Todu 00:03, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
php error
[edit]I get this error when Oversight is enabled:
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /var/www/html/wiki/extensions/Oversight/HideRevision.php on line 28
MW 1.11, Fedora 5, PHP 5
Will this work with 1.8.2?
[edit]Hello all,
Will this extenstion work with version 1.8.2?
Thanks,

Will this work in 1.12?
[edit]Will Oversight work in MW 1.12? Thanks.
- I believe that it should, but if not, you can always use the one in the 1.11 branch. Aaron 18:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Hiding the revision summary also?
[edit]Is it possible for Oversight to hide the revision summary as well? Right now, looking at the history page for an article, I can't click & view the revision itself, but the information I want to hide is still viewable in the summary given by the user (e.g. (New page: [page content here])).
Difficulty installing table
[edit]The instructions say:
Add the required table to the database:
php maintenance/sql.php extensions/Oversight/hidden.sql
I successfully installed my wiki on my localhost (I am running XAMPP), and attempted to do this:
However, I get this error:
- Access forbidden!
- You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
- If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
- Error 403
- localhost
- 11/08/08 23:40:28
- Apache/2.2.9 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8i mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.6
I also tried going to the command line and typing php maintenance/sql.php extensions/Oversight/hidden.sql . When I do that, I get a bunch of stuff ending with:
- MySQL returned error "1142: CREATE command denied to user 'wikiuser'@'localhost' for table 'hidden' (localhost)"
Anyone have any clues as to what might be causing that? (Now that I think about it, it may have something to do with the fact that I installed Mediawiki using the "root" superuser). Also, is it possible to install this extension on a server on which one lacks shell access? Thanks, Nathan Larson 04:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- That was indeed the problem - I couldn't use the "root" superuser; I had to change the permissions on wikiuser so as to grant access from that account. It works now. Nathan Larson 06:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Missing this extension
[edit]If I have a look eg. to special:Version, I can see this extension in the list of extension. When I click on it, the page tells me the extension is present in the MW core. Does it mean, I dont need to install it to my MW? Because if I have a look to my MW special:version, I dont see it in there and I dont have the same functionality, as it is desribed on the image of the removed page.
